Background
In 1997, the kyoto protocol listed sulfur hexafluoride in a greenhouse gas sequence. Sulfur hexafluoride is a strong greenhouse gas with a greenhouse potential (Global Warming Potential, GWP) that is approximately 23900 times the same amount of carbon dioxide (CO 2) (calculated over a 100 year period). The boost effect of global warming by discharging 1 kilogram of sulfur hexafluoride is equivalent to carbon dioxide discharged by 24 aircraft taking one trip back and forth between london and new york. Particularly, sulfur hexafluoride has stable property and is not easy to decompose, and can stably exist in the atmosphere for 3200 years. With the use of sulfur hexafluoride in large quantities, the higher the concentration of sulfur hexafluoride accumulated in the atmosphere, the more remarkable the effect on global climate. Therefore, sulfur hexafluoride gas is also an object of global greenhouse gas emission reduction. In addition, corrosive and highly toxic products such as S 2F10、SF4 are generated in the decomposition reaction process of sulfur hexafluoride, so that the sulfur hexafluoride has great harm to human bodies. Currently, the total amount of sulfur hexafluoride gas emitted annually worldwide is equivalent to 1.25 hundred million tons of carbon dioxide (CO 2). In 2020, the equivalent of carbon emission caused by sulfur hexafluoride gas discharged in China reaches 8500 ten thousand tons, and the equivalent of carbon emission is about 70% of the world. Therefore, the emission reduction of sulfur hexafluoride has important significance for China.
The prior emission reduction measures aiming at SF 6 are to recycle and compress the high-concentration sulfur hexafluoride gas used in retired equipment, then transport the high-concentration sulfur hexafluoride gas to a provincial center, uniformly adopt purification treatment, and recycle the raw waste gas with the purity of SF 6 being more than 70% by adopting a compression recycling technology, and have a small leakage risk. In addition, scholars have studied a variety of methods such as adsorption, thermal decomposition, photodegradation, plasma method and catalytic degradation, wherein the catalytic degradation method is of special interest, and sulfur hexafluoride degradation mainly comprises three types of catalysts, namely metal oxide, metal phosphate and supported metal catalyst. These catalysts are all carried out in argon or nitrogen atmosphere with the temperature above 600 ℃ and lack of degradation mechanism and technical research under the condition of lower-temperature atmospheric environment. For example Zhang Jia et al (CN 103007736 a) utilize electroplating sludge to degrade sulfur hexafluoride more effectively, but the degradation process is carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere. Under the actual condition, sulfur hexafluoride is in the atmosphere, and the protective atmosphere greatly prevents the SF 6 from degrading the practical application of the catalyst. It is therefore an urgent need to develop a catalytic material capable of degrading SF 6 under a general air atmosphere at low temperature.

Detailed Description
Example 1:
1. Preparation of MoO 2 -based catalytic Material
MoO 2 is taken as an active center, silicon carbide is taken as a carrier, the mass ratio of MoO 2 in the material is controlled to be 10wt%, and the MoO 2 and the silicon carbide are mixed and ground to obtain the powdery MoO 2 -based catalytic material.
The back-scattered electron image of the prepared MoO 2 -based catalytic material is shown in FIG. 1, the bright part is MoO 2, and the dark part is silicon carbide. The MoO 2 -based catalytic material was then characterized using high resolution transmission electron microscopy, as shown in FIG. 2. MoO 2 is dispersed in the silicon carbide carrier, and the two components are fused at the interface to form MoO 2/SiC heterojunction.
Device for treating sulfur hexafluoride by MoO 2 -based catalytic material
The device for treating sulfur hexafluoride by using the MoO 2 -based catalytic material is shown in FIG. 3, and comprises a1 pure sulfur hexafluoride gas steel cylinder, a 2 gas flowmeter, a 3 gas mixer, a 4 quartz reaction tube, a 5-tube furnace, a 6-alkali liquor recovery device, a 7-gas chromatograph, an A air inlet and a B reacted gas outlet. Wherein, air and sulfur hexafluoride gas enter a gas mixer 3 through a gas flowmeter 2 to be mixed and then enter a quartz reaction tube 4, moO 2 -based catalytic materials are arranged in the quartz reaction tube 4, the quartz reaction tube 4 is arranged in a tube furnace 5, the gas treated by the quartz reaction tube 4 is heated to the treatment temperature through the tube furnace 5 and is sent into an alkali liquor recovery device 6, and the alkali liquor recovery device 6 adopts 5mol/L sodium hydroxide solution to treat and collect tail gas.
A process for treating sulfur hexafluoride by a moo 2 -based catalytic material, comprising the steps of:
(1) Sulfur hexafluoride waste gas is configured:
the sulfur hexafluoride waste gas used in the experiment is a mixed gas of sulfur hexafluoride and air in a simulation configuration, and in this embodiment, the concentration of sulfur hexafluoride is controlled to be 2vol.% by the gas flowmeter and the gas mixing device.
(2) Filling the mixed and ground MoO 2 -based catalytic material into a quartz reaction tube, and continuously feeding sulfur hexafluoride mixed gas into the quartz reaction tube for waiting treatment.
(3) The quartz reactor tube was placed in a tube furnace and the temperature was controlled at 500 ℃ and the degradation efficiency was recorded every 10 minutes until the degradation efficiency was poor or 0, and the results are shown in fig. 4.
As can be seen from FIG. 4, sulfur hexafluoride has better degradation efficiency at 500 ℃, the degradation duration is longer than 120 minutes, the highest degradation rate reaches 73.33% at 40 minutes, and the degradation amount of SF 6 on unit mass MoS 2 is 123.49mL g -1. The tail gas from the reaction tube is led into an alkali liquor recovery device, and the gas after tail gas absorption is carried out by 5mol/L sodium hydroxide solution, so that the gas can be directly discharged into the atmosphere.
Example 2:
The preparation method, the treatment device and the treatment process of the MoO 2 -based catalytic material of the example 1 are adopted, except that the proportion of silicon carbide and MoO 2 in the MoO 2 catalytic material is adjusted as shown in the table 1, the effect on degradation efficiency is tested, and the result is shown in fig. 5.
TABLE 1 composition and proportions of different MoO 2 -based catalytic materials
Analysis:
The mass ratio of MoO 2 in the degradation material has a great influence on the SF 6 degradation effect. The highest degradation rate of 5wt% MoO 2 -based catalytic material is 50.09%, the SF 6 degradation amount per unit mass MoO 2 reaches 122.49mL g -1, and the degradation life is 110 minutes. When the specific gravity of MoO 2 was increased to 10wt%, the highest degradation rate was increased to 73.33%, and the degradation amount of SF 6 per unit mass of MoO 2 was 123.42mL g -1, which was almost the same as that of 5wt% of MoO 2 -based catalytic material. However, as the content of MoO 2 further increases, the degradation effect of SF 6 begins to decrease. When MoO 2 content reached 20wt%, the amount of SF 6 degradation per unit mass MoO 2 was almost halved, decreasing from 123.42mL g -1 to 64.65mL g -1, although the total amount of SF 6 degraded during the whole degradation was almost unchanged (12.34 mL total at 10wt% and 12.93mL total at 20 wt%). when the MoO 2 content was further increased to 50wt%, there was a significant decrease in both the amount of SF 6 degradation per unit MoO 2 and the total amount of SF 6 degradation. This is because SiC acts as an electron donor and a dispersant in the composite. On one hand, the reduction of SiC limits the electron diffusion efficiency, greatly weakens the degradation site of Mo, and meanwhile, the metal oxide fluoride can be sintered again at high temperature, so that the contact area is possibly reduced, the gas flow is blocked, and the reaction rate is reduced. Therefore, the content of MoO 2 in the MoO 2 -based catalytic material is preferably 10wt%.
Example 3:
the MoO 2 -based catalytic material preparation method, treatment apparatus and treatment process of example 1 were used, except that the selection of the support was adjusted as shown in Table 2, and the effect on degradation efficiency was tested, and the results are shown in FIG. 6.
TABLE 2 selection of different vectors
Analysis:
The choice of different supports will have a great impact on the performance of the MoO 2 -based catalytic material. Pure MoO 2 cannot degrade SF 6 at 500 ℃. This is because MoO 2 has a large crystal size and a small specific surface area, which is disadvantageous for adsorption of SF 6. Meanwhile, the charge distribution in the pure MoO 2 material is very uniform, and the electron transfer to SF 6 molecules is not facilitated, so that the degradation effect is not achieved. When SiO 2 powder was chosen as carrier, the degradation effect on SF 6 was poor. Degradation of SF 6 can only be achieved when SiC is used as a carrier. The SiC has high hardness, is a common grinding agent, and is more uniform in size after being mixed with MoO 2, thereby being beneficial to adsorption and reaction. In addition, siC has semiconductor properties that allow electrons to be redistributed between MoO 2 and SiC, which can be used to accelerate activation and degradation of SF 6. Thus, the most preferred support for the MoO 2 -based catalytic material is silicon carbide.
Example 4:
The MoO 2 -based catalytic material preparation method, treatment device and treatment process of example 1 were used, except that the treatment temperature of the tube furnace was adjusted as shown in Table 3, and the effect of the treatment temperature on degradation efficiency was tested, and the results are shown in FIG. 7.
TABLE 3 different degradation temperatures
Analysis:
the degradation temperature can affect the degradation effect of the MoO 2 -based catalytic material. At 450 ℃, the MoO 2 -based catalytic material hardly activated SF 6. When the temperature is raised to 500 ℃, the MoO 2 -based catalytic material starts to react with SF 6, and the highest degradation rate is 73.33%, and the SF 6 degradation amount of unit MoO 2 reaches 123.42mL g -1. as the temperature increases, the highest degradation rate and degradation amount of the MoO 2 -based catalytic material to SF 6 also increases. At 550 ℃, the highest degradation rate reaches 94.89%, the degradation amount of SF 6 reaches 391.13mL g -1, and the degradation life is prolonged to 260 minutes. When the temperature is further increased to 600 ℃, SF 6 can reach 100% degradation, the unit degradation amount reaches 664.79mL g -1, and the degradation life is as long as 400 minutes. Therefore, it is easy to see that the temperature has great influence on the degradation effect of SF 6, and the high temperature is favorable for activating and degrading SF 6 molecules by the MoO 2 -based catalytic material. The degradation temperature is preferably 500 ℃ for energy saving and economical reasons.
Summarizing:
1. The MoO 2 -based catalytic material provided by the invention is prepared by taking MoO 2 as an active site center and taking a silicon carbide material as a carrier through a simple physical grinding method, does not need sintering, is simple in process and low in processing cost, is suitable for large-scale production, and is proved by experiments to be capable of degrading sulfur hexafluoride in an air atmosphere, and is different from the conventional technology of degrading in a nitrogen or argon protective atmosphere, so that the catalytic material is quite in line with actual conditions and has great practical potential.
2. By optimizing the iron doping proportion, the carrier selection, the MoO 2 -carrier proportion, the treatment temperature and the like, excellent degradation efficiency can be effectively obtained at a lower temperature, and the optimal implementation scheme is that the carrier is selected to be silicon carbide, the mass ratio of MoO 2 in the catalytic material is 10wt%, and the treatment temperature is 500 ℃.
